The Responsible One, The Favorite, and The Ghost: How Childhood Roles Shape Caregiving
Description
Caregiving doesn't just happen in the current moment - it brings old family roles that we've been playing out since childhood back to life. The "responsible one" burns out, and the "favorite" expects everyone to defer to them. The "ghost" fades into the background, and the "rebel" resists every decision.
In this episode Dr. Delia Chiaramonte explores the hidden scripts that siblings carry into caregiving, why they cause so much conflict, and how you can step out of those roles instead of letting them cause stress and chaos.
Once you see your "script" you can start to write a new one.
